Before knowing about ''WHAT IS CREATIVITY'', let us take some minutes to think about ourself. Have you ever had the thought, "I'm not creative because I can't even draw a straight line"? If so, you're not alone. Many people think that there is some essential relationship between creativity and the ability to make art. If they can't paint like Picasso, or sing like Josh Groban, they don't dare claim to be creative.
Actually, the world is not divided into two groups of the creative and the uncreative. We're creative by default. We're genetically predisposed to create. Each of us, to varying degrees, is intrinsically motivated to create, to be original and to solve challenging problems. The question to ask is not, "Am I creative?" but rather, "What inspires me to create?"
Personal creativity is not about intelligence or information. It's about inspiration, from the Latin spiritus, meaning "breath, courage, the soul." Creativity is about being fully alive, living courageously. Knowing this is the key to discovering the creativity that is waiting to be expressed through you.

Here are some meaningful quotes about the CREATIVITY :
- Mozart on his art
People are wrong who think my art comes easily to me. I assure you, nobody has devoted so much time and thought to composition as I. There is not a famous master whose music I have not studied over and over.
- Nietzche, philosopher
You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.
- Linus Pauling, physicist
The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.
- Albert Einstein, physicist
The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
- Thomas Edison, inventor

"It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all."
